Figure Lengend Snippet: A volume rendering computed tomography image ( A ) and transaxial images ( B , C ) of volumes-of-interest of the tongue. The whole tongue area was delineated using a radiation treatment planning software (pink color on ( A ) and blue color on ( B )). The whole tongue area was divided into four quadrant areas ( C ). Maximum standardized uptake value and total tongue uptake of the whole tongue and four quadrant areas were calculated using these volumes of interest.
Article Snippet: For the quantitative analysis of blood pool uptake of the tongue, the whole tongue area was delineated from the surrounding tissue using radiation treatment planning software (Eclipse version 8.9, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA, USA), and the tongue area was divided into four quadrant areas ( ).
